| Trombone quotes |
| "The trombones are too sacred for frequent use." Felix Mendelssohn |
| "Many a sinner has played himself into heaven on the trombone, thanks to the [Salvation] Army." George Bernard Shaw, Major Barbara ( 1907 ) |
| "You don't choose to play the trombone, It chooses you. It's a loud, extrovert instrument, that makes everyone sit up and take notice." Simon Hogg, Trombonist, Fine Arts Brass Ensemble |
| "In my opinion, the trombone is the true head of that family of wind instruments which I have named the epic one. It possesses nobility and grandeur to the highest degree; it has all the serious and powerful tones of sublime musical poetry, from religious calm and imposing accents, to savage, orgiastic outbursts. Directed by the will of a master, the trombones can chant like a choir of priests, threaten, utter gloomy sighs, a mournful lament or a bright hymn of glory. They can break forth into awe-inspiring cries, and awaken the dead or doom the living with their fearful voices." Hector Berlioz |
